The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

Song Moting repeatedly reminded and instructed them, before finally driving away with the two children and Jin Dachuan, leaving Jiang Lei and Bai Yiyi behind.

Bai Jiefang and Cui Fen felt truly indebted; Jiang Lei, a city official, had put aside his own work just for the sake of their niece. For this, they felt utterly incapable of repaying him.

Moreover, Jiang stayed behind to help them raise Angora rabbits, which was quite something—to help them amass wealth, he stayed behind to lend a hand.

The entire family felt they could never repay him and wished they could repay his kindness by working tirelessly in gratitude.

Bai Jiefang felt they were truly fortunate to be connected to such a good family through their niece.

Bai Jiefang inquired and learned where Feng Chun got married.

He heard she married into a butcher's family that sells pork in Hulu Town.

It was said that the butcher's name was Li Guangming.

Previously, he had a wife who bore him a son and a daughter, but she later died of an illness, leaving him to raise the children alone.

Bai Jiefang and Jiang Lei brought Bai Yiyi to Hulu Town, and after much inquiry, finally found Li Guangming's home.

The three of them arrived at the small courtyard's entrance, where they heard someone inside speaking harshly.

"Guangming, although Feng Chun'er gave you a daughter, you should still be cautious with her. After all, no woman with a second marriage is without personal desires, especially since she's been to prison. The way she heartlessly abandoned her own daughter to be with you makes me think she's not to be trusted.

You really should be on guard."

"Mom, can you please stop saying such things about Feng Chun? I know what kind of person she is. She's a good person. Do you think she heartlessly abandoned her own daughter on purpose? She had no other choice. I heard that her daughter was adopted by a family in the Capital City.

The family she's with now is a cadre family, living well and eating well. It's better than staying with her. What could she offer her daughter, suffering with us in our town? She is now wholeheartedly with me, which is better than anything, so stop saying things that make us uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lei felt that Bai Yiyi's mother's new husband was at least somewhat decent.

To be able to speak up for his wife like that showed he was a good man and hadn't made a wrong choice.

"You're really ungrateful after marrying. For whose sake am I saying this? Isn't it for you? If you really cherish her that much, then fine, you take care of your own children and see if she can be a good stepmother.

Who am I doing this for? You are truly ungrateful."

With that, someone pushed the door open, saw the three of them blocking the entrance, glared, and then left.

A strong-looking man followed, helplessly watching his mother walk away.

"You must be Li Guangming?"

Jiang Lei asked.

Li Guangming cautiously looked over the three of them, pausing when his gaze fell on Bai Yiyi. His eyes registered a moment of realization.

"You're Bai Yiyi, right? Feng Chun's daughter."

Bai Yiyi bore a distinct resemblance to Feng Chun, making them look almost like twins.

"I am!"

Bai Yiyi summoned the courage to answer. She didn't fully understand why, but she had to see this mother of hers. Perhaps deep down, she hoped Feng Chun was doing well.

"Come in and have a seat. Feng Chun went out to buy groceries and will be back soon."

Li Guangming invited them into the courtyard.

The courtyard was a bit messy, with basins scattered around, filled with things like pig entrails.

There was also a tricycle with a cutting board on it, with some pieces of pork on it, although not much was left, suggesting Li Guangming had just returned from setting up a stall.

"Feel free to sit inside the house; the courtyard's too messy to stand in."

Li Guangming knew the mess in the house wasn't ideal, but as a butcher, he had to deal with these things daily.

They were used to it, but newcomers might find it unbearable, especially seeing things like the entrails, likely making them feel uneasy.

The four went inside, and Li Guangming served them some boiled water.

"There's nothing much at home to offer you, so please just have some boiled water."

Bai Yiyi carefully observed the house, which was slightly better than her second uncle's.

Everything was neat and tidy, and the furniture was relatively new, with a TV on the table.

It was apparent that Li Guangming's life was better off than her second uncle's.

Under Bai Yiyi's scrutinizing eyes, Li Guangming, a grown man, began to sweat a little nervously.

"Don't blame your mother. She did it all for you. You wouldn't know, she just got out of prison. She didn't even have a place to stay. A woman alone, with all her belongings, sleeping on the benches of train stations, picking trash during the day for a few coins."

Li Guangming decided to reveal everything. He knew Feng Chun didn't like to complain to others, but the child needed to understand that it wasn't her mother's cruelty.

Bai Yiyi truly didn't know this. Upon hearing this, her eyes filled with emotion.

She had no idea her mother had suffered so much.

She knew it would be hard for her mother after getting out.

But she thought, maybe her mother would return to her grandfather's small home.

Why didn't her mother go back to her grandfather's place? At least it would have been a place to stay.

Seeing Bai Yiyi's confusion, Li Guangming sighed.

"Your mother did go back to the house where your grandfather lived, but it had already been sold."

Bai Yiyi glanced at her second uncle, and Bai Jiefang was taken aback!

"Impossible, how could that house have been sold? It was under my brother's name. No one has the authority to sell it, not even me."

Living in the village, they rarely had the chance to check on the property in the city.

"I know you weren't aware. It was your father who returned to sell the house. Your mother found out from the neighbors. Three years ago, your father came back, discovered your grandparents had passed, so he sold the house and took the money with him.

Without a place to stay, your mom made do at the train station.

She finally saved enough money to rent a place. I met your mom because I sold meat at the market and saw your mom collecting vegetable scraps there every day. I started feeling sorry for her and introduced her to a job.

One of my friends has a restaurant, and I got your mom a job doing odd tasks there. That's how we got to know each other."

Reflecting on the past, Li Guangming felt a sense of emotion, even though it was only two years ago.

But remembering Feng Chun's miserable situation back then still pained his heart.
